The workshop 'Baroque Curves – Life Drawing in the Museum' offers a unique opportunity to engage intensively with the art of life drawing. This event takes place in the inspiring environment of a museum and is equally aimed at beginners and advanced participants. Under the guidance of Christine Fegerl MA, an experienced art historian and artist, participants learn techniques for capturing the proportions and designing the human figure.
The workshop spans two days and includes a variety of drawing exercises supported by models on site. These models help enrich the artistic process and train the eye to perceive the human body as a three-dimensional figure. Special attention is given to the relationship of the figure to space, giving the drawings depth and expression.
Participants have the opportunity to experiment with various drawing materials, which can either be brought along or provided in the art lab. At the end of the workshop, the works created will be presented in the DomQuartier, giving artists the chance to showcase their work to a broader audience.
An inspiring quote by Alberto Giacometti underscores the focus of the workshop: '...only the drawing counts...we must concentrate solely on the drawing. If one masters drawing, everything else becomes possible.' This approach not only promotes technical skill but also the creative thinking of the participants. The workshop costs €175, with a discount to €165 for holders of a DQS annual pass including the model fee. The number of participants is limited to 12 to ensure intensive supervision and individual support. Prior registration is required.
